Answer:
contribution margin ratio= 0.4
Break-even point (dollars)= $635,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Storytime sells tickets at $ 100 per person as a one-day entrance fee.
Variable costs are $ 60 per person, and fixed costs are $254,000 per month.
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
contribution margin ratio= contribution margin/selling price
contribution margin ratio= (100 - 60)/100
contribution margin ratio= 0.4
To calculate the sales required to break even, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 254,000/0.4
Break-even point (dollars)= $635,000
Gramps purchased a joint survivor annuity that pays $500 monthly over his remaining life and that of his wife, Gram. Gramps is 70 years old and Gram is 65 years old. Gramps paid $97,020 for the contract. How much income will Gramps recognize on the first payment?
Answer:
$150
Explanation:
Calculation of how much income that Gramps will recognize on the first payment.
Since joint survivor annuity has 23.1 as the annual return multiple .
Calculation for Expected return
Expected return =Annual payment *Return multiple
($500*12) =$6,000
$6,000×23.1
=$138,600
Therefore :
$97,020/$138,600
=0.7×100
=70%
The 70% of each of the payment will be the return of capital while the 30%(100%-70%) will be the income.
Hence the first payment be:
30%×500
=$150
Therefore the amount of income that Gramps will recognize on the first payment will be $150

Darian and Ivan have been friends since college. They started a limousine rental business from scratch in Philadelphia. They are now contemplating opening an additional location for their business in Baltimore. They have crunched the numbers and discover it would mean adding $2 million more in expenses, and their profit would increase by $250,000 each year for the next 5 years (all other things equal). Darian and Ivan decide
Answer: c) to not open in a new city because the marginal costs prove to be too high.
Explanation:
This decision depends on if the new location will be worth the investment of $2,000,000 put into it. To check whether it will be worth it, the total Revenue expected over the amount of time that the location would be making revenue should be added up. If the sum is greater than $2 million then it is a viable Investment. If it is not, it should not be picked.
The prospective location is estimated to be able to add $250,000 per year in revenue over 5 years.
In 5 years that means
= 250,000 * 5
= $1,250,000 would be made in revenue.
This Revenue of $1,250,000 is far short of the $2 million that will be added in Expenses and so the Investment is not viable.
Darian and Ivan should not open in the new city because the Marginal Cost of Investment is too high to be covered by the Marginal Revenue.
In large high rise condominiums, each unit is owned by individual owners. The elevators, parking garage, and swimming pool are called: A. proprietary elements B. common area elements C. separate property D. community property
Answer:
B. common area elements
Explanation:
Common Area elements are those spaces in real estate that are meant for general use. They are not owned exclusively by one person but are rather shared by the people who live within the area. The people pay some maintenance fee to keep the common area elements in good conditions.
In condominiums, the elevators, parking garage, and swimming pools are collectively shared by residents, and they all pay for the maintenance of these properties. Therefore, they can be said to be Common Area elements. Common Area elements can be found in residential, business and Government-owned properties.
Answer:
B. common area elements
Explanation:
-Proprietary elements refer to something that has a trademark or it is protected by property rights and can only be used or sold by the owner.
-Common area elements refer to the parts of a condominium that can be used by all the people living there and that belong to all the owners.
-Separate property refers to a property that people get before marriage and doesn't count as part of the marital property.
-Community property refers to property purchased during marriage that is considered marital property.
According to this, the answer is that the elevators, parking garage, and swimming pool are called common area elements.

Karl Corporation was organized on January 2, 2018. During 2018, Karl issued 40,000 shares at $24 per share, purchased 6,000 shares of treasury stock at $26 per share, and had net income of $600,000. What is the total amount of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2018?
Answer:
$1,404,000
Explanation:
To calculate the total amount of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2018 you have to use the following formula:
Stockholder’s equity= Paid-up capital+Retained earnings-Treasury stock
Paid-up capital= $24*40,000= $960,000
Retained earnings= $600,000
Treasury stock= $26*6,000= $156,000
Now, you can replace the values on the formula:
Stockholder’s equity= $960,000+$600,000-$156,000
Stockholder’s equity= $1,404,000
According to this, the total amount of stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2018 is $1,404,000.
Great Lakes Packing has two bond issues outstanding. The first issue has a coupon rate of 3.50 percent, a par value of $1,000 per bond, matures in 8 years, has a total face value of $3.6 million, and is quoted at 109 percent of face value. The second issue has a coupon rate of 5.94 percent, a par value of $2,000 per bond, matures in 21 years, has a total face value of $7.9 million, and is quoted at 95 percent of face value. Both bonds pay interest semiannually. The company's tax rate is 40 percent. What is the firm's weighted average aftertax cost of debt
Answer:
2.9652%
Explanation:
to determine the cost of debt we must use the FMV of the bonds plus the YTM:
first bond:
FMV = 1.09 x $1,000 = $1,090 x 3,600 bonds = $3,924,000
YTM = {C + [(F - P)/n]} / [(F + P)/2] = {17.5 + [(1000 - 1090)/16]} / [(1000 + 1090)/2] = (17.5 - 5.625) / 1045 = 1.136% x 2 = 2.27% annual
second bond:
FMV = 0.95 x $2,000 = $1,900 x 3,950 bonds = $7,505,000
YTM = {C + [(F - P)/n]} / [(F + P)/2] = {59.4 + [(2000 - 1900)/42]} / [(2000 + 1900)/2] = (59.4 + 2.38) / 1950 = 3.168% x 2 = 6.34% annual
total debt = $3,924,000 + $7,505,000 = $11,429,000
weighted average after tax cost of debt:
{($3,924,000/$11,429,000 x 2.27%) + ($7,505,000/$11,429,000 x 6.34%)} x (1 - 0.40) = (0.779% + 4.163%) x 0.6 = 4.942% x 0.6 = 2.9652%

Chico’s Clockworks uses job order costing for its custom clock-making business. Job GF1260 is a custom-made grandfather clock. Chico’s job cost sheet for Job GF1260 shows a total cost of $4,265, including direct labor of 50 hours at $20 per hour. Overhead is applied at 100% of direct labor cost. What is the direct materials cost for Job GF1260? A : $3,455 B : $1,000 C : $2,265 D : $2,895
Answer:
Option C,$2,265 , is correct
Explanation:
Labor cost =direct labor hours*rate per hour
direct labor hours is 50 hours
direct labor cost per hour is $20
labor cost=50*$20=$1,000
Overhead was applied as 100% of direct labor cost
overhead=100%*$1000=$1000
Total cost of job=direct material cost+direct labor+overhead
direct material cost=total cost-direct labor-overhead
direct material cost=$4,265-$1000-$1000=$2,265
The correct option is C,$2,265
Security Brokers Inc. specializes in underwriting new issues by small firms. On a recent offering of Beedles Inc., the terms were as follows: Price to public: $5 per share Number of shares: 3 million Proceeds to Beedles: $14,000,000 The out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Security Brokers in the design and distribution of the issue were $430,000. What profit or loss would Security Brokers incur if the issue were sold to the public at the following average price? $4.75 per share? Use minus sign to enter loss, if any. $ $5.75 per share? Use minus sign to enter loss, if any. $ $4 per share? Use minus sign to enter loss, if any. $
Answer:
a) -$180,000
b) $2,820,000
c) -$2,430,000
Explanation:
a) To calculate the profit or loss that the Security Brokers would incur if the issue were sold to the public at $4.75 per share, we have the following:
= (number of shares * price to public) - (proceeds to Beedles) - (out of pocket expenses)
= (3,000,000 * 4.75) - (14,000,000) - (430,000)
= -$180,000
The loss at $4.75 per share is $180,000
b) To calculate the profit or loss that the Security Brokers would incur if the issue were sold to the public at $5.75 per share, we have the following:
= (number of shares * price to public) - (proceeds to Beedles) - (out of pocket expenses)
= (3,000,000 * 5.75) - (14,000,000) - (430,000)
= $2,820,000
The profit at $5.75 per share is $2,820,000
c) To calculate the profit or loss that the Security Brokers would incur if the issue were sold to the public at $4 per share, we have the following:
= (number of shares * price to public) - (proceeds to Beedles) - (out of pocket expenses)
= (3,000,000 * 4) - (14,000,000) - (430,000)
= -$2,430,000
The loss at $4 per share is $2,430,000
The equipment account had a $36,000 balance at the beginning of the year, and a $30,000 balance at the end of the year. The accumulated depreciation account had a balance of $22,000 at the beginning of the year, and a $17,000 balance at the end of the year. The income statement reported depreciation expense of $4,000 for the year. Equipment costing $10,000 was sold for its book value. Cash received from the sale to be reported in the Investing Activities section is
Answer:
$1000

Total accumulated depreciation on the equipment=Opening balance of accumulated depreciation+depreciation charge for the year-closing balance of accumulated depreciation
Total accumulated depreciation on the equipment=$22,000+$4,000-$17,000
=$9,000
cash proceeds=$10,000-$9,000=$1000
Suppose you deposited $27,000 in a bank account that pays 5.25% with daily compounding based on a 360-day year. How much would be in the account after 8 months, assuming each month has 30 days
Answer:
FV= $27,962.78
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Suppose you deposited $27,000 in a bank account that pays 5.25% with daily compounding based on a 360-day year.
First, we need to calculate the daily interest:
Interest rate= 0.0525/360= 0.000146
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the final value:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 27,000*(1.000146^240)
FV= $27,962.78
Consider three imaginary countries. In Aire, saving amounts to $4,000 and consumption amounts to $12,000; in Bovina, saving amounts to $3,000 and consumption amounts to $24,000; and in Cartar, saving amounts to $10,000 and consumption amounts to $50,000. The saving rate is
Answer:
The savings rate is higher in Aire than in Carttar and it is higher in cartar than in Bolivia.
Explanation:
To calculate savings rate:
[(Total income - consumption)/total income] x 100
Where total income = consumption + savings.
The savings rates are as follows
Aires: [(16000 -12,000)/16000] x 100
= 400/16
= 25%
Bovina: [(27000 - 24000)/27000] x 100
= 300/27
= 11.11%
Cartar: [(60000 - 50000)/60000] x 100
= 100/6
= 16.67%

The government of Ruritania has implemented many programs that promote equality, but has become concerned about the very slow rate of growth that has held back their national economy for many years. In order to address this problem, the government is likely to:
Answer: b. reduce taxes and cut back on some social programs
Explanation:
When the Economy is not doing well, Social programs are usually targeted as they usually take a lot of money from the Government's coffers.
It is also a generally held view that reducing taxes as a Fiscal policy can help stimulate the Economy by leaving the public with more funds to invest in and spend on the Economy.
The Government of Ruritania is therefore most likely to combine reducing Social programs as well as reducing taxes. This will have the effect of leaving the Government with some money as it loses revenue from taxes whilst also enabling the public to have more money to invest and to spend which will then lead to Economic growth.
Here the government reduce taxes and cut back on some social programs
For addressing the given problem, the government should do:At the time when the Economy is not doing well, Social programs are should be considered since it take a lot of money from the Government's coffers.

a. Cost of Goods Sold
b. Cash from Operations
c. Total Assets
d. Retained Earnings
e. Depreciation Expense
Answer:
The answer is Option B and E which are Cash from operations and Depreciation expense
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The adjusted entry in recording depreciation is stated below:
Date Account Title Debit Credit
xxx Depreciation Expenses A/c 5,000
Accumulated Depreciation A/c 5,000
Thus,
The Accumulated depreciation will increase or goes higher
Depreciation is on Automobile used by the sales force, The administrative expenses with the selling General expenses will be increased.
Now, the Depreciation here is seen as a Non- Cash Expense, and much later it will be included back in Net Income for computing Cash From Operation, so Cash From Operations would also be increased.
Therefore, the following items that would increase are Cash From Operation, Accumulated Depreciation, Depreciation expense
Assume the profit margin and dividend payout ratio are constant. By what amount will retained earnings increase if sales are projected to increase by 11 percent? Currently, the firm’s sales =$4,700, net income is $420, total assets=7890, dividends=125, A/P =790, LTD= 3130, and common stock=2780, and retained earnings =1190.
Answer:
The amount will retained earnings increase if sales are projected to increase by 11 percent is $327,45
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount will retained earnings increase if sales are projected to increase by 11 percent we would have to make the following calculation:
amount will retained earnings increase=(net income-dividends)*increase percentage
amount will retained earnings increase= ($420-$125)*1.11
amount will retained earnings increase= $ 327.45
The amount will retained earnings increase if sales are projected to increase by 11 percent is $327,45

Workings:
w.1. Reimbursed amount = Petty cash fund - Fund balance on January 31 = $100 - $9.20 = $90.80
w.2. Unaccounted amount = Reimbursed amount - Maintenance expense - Office supplies - Transportation expense = $90.80 - $61.50 - $12.50 - $15.00 = $1.80.
You and your new spouse each bring home $1400 each month after taxes and other payroll deductions. By living frugally, you intend to live on just one paycheck and save the other in a mutual fund yielding 7.83% compounded monthly. How long will it take to have enough for a 20% down payment on a $165,000 condo in the city? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
22 months
Explanation:
The 20% down payment which is target savings =$165,000*20%=$33,000
The are two paychecks which is $1,400 each
monthly savings is one paycheck=$1,400
rate of compounding is 7.83% yearly=7.83%/12=0.006525 monthly
The number of months the savings will reach $33,000 can be computed using the nper formula in excel as shown below:
=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)
rate is the monthly rate i,e 0.006525
pmt is the monthly savings of $1,400
pv is the present worth of the savings which is unknown
fv is the future value of target savings which is $33,000
=nper(0.006525,-1400,0,33000)=22 months approximately
Pinnacle Corp. budgeted $259,470 of overhead cost for the current year. Actual overhead costs for the year were $209,420. Pinnacle's plantwide allocation base, machine hours, was budgeted at 49,190 hours. Actual machine hours were 56,270. A total of 102,050 units was budgeted to be produced and 98,000 units were actually produced. Pinnacle's plantwide factory overhead rate for the current year is:
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5.275 per machine-hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Pinnacle Corp. budgeted $259,470 of overhead cost for the current year.
Pinnacle's plantwide allocation base, machine hours, was budgeted at 49,190 hours.
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 259,470/49,190
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5.275 per machine-hour
Handel Company uses the allowance method for estimating uncollectible accounts.
January 5 Sold merchandise to Terry Richman for $2,000, terms n/15.
April 15 Received $600 from Terry Richman on account.
August 21 Wrote off as uncollectible the balance of the Terry Richman account when she declared bankruptcy.
October 5 Unexpectedly received a check for $300 from Terry Richman. It is not felt any more will be received from Richman.
Prepare journal entries to record the above transactions.
Answer: Please refer to Explanation.
Explanation:
January 2
DR Accounts Receivable - Terry Richman $2,000
CR Sales $2,000
(To record sale of goods to Terry Richman on Account)
April 15
DR Cash $600
CR Accounts Receivable - Terry Richman $600
(To record cash received from Terry Richman)
August 21
DR Allowance for Doubtful Debt $1,400
CR Accounts Receivable - Terry Richman $1,400
(To record write off of Terry Richman Account)
October 5
DR Accounts Receivable - Terry Richman $300
CR Allowance for Doubtful Debt $300
October 5
DR Cash $300
CR Accounts Receivable $300
(To record Cash Received from Terry Richman)
Workings and Notes.
Terry Richman paid $600 out of their $2,000 debt before declaring bankruptcy.
= 2,000 - 600
= $1,400.
This is why $1,400 was the written off figure.
When an Receivables account is written off, it is debited to the Allowance for Doubtful Debt Account.
When money is unexpectedly received after a write off, the amount first has to be retrieved from the Allowance for Doubtful Debt and taken back to the Accounts Receivables and then it can be recorded as Cash received.
Let us assume two students must prepare a presentation for their economics class. As part of their class presentation, they must do a series of calculations and prepare 50 PowerPoint slides. It would take James 10 hours to do the required calculation and 10 hours to prepare the slides. It would take Jane 12 hours to do the series of the calculations and 20 hours to prepare the PPT slides. A. How much time would it take the two students to complete the project if they divide the two tasks equally?B. How much time would it take the two students to complete the project if they use comparative advantage and specialize in calculating or preparing slides? C. If Larry and Kate have the same opportunity cost of $5 per hour, is there a better solution than for each to specialize in calculating or preparing slides?
Answer:
A. How much time would it take the two students to complete the project if they divide the two tasks equally?
James needs 10 hours to complete half the task and Jane needs 16 hours to do her part = total work 26 hoursB. How much time would it take the two students to complete the project if they use comparative advantage and specialize in calculating or preparing slides?
If they specialize, then Jane should do the calculations (12 hours) and James should prepare the slides (10 hours) = total work 22 hoursC. If James and Jane have the same opportunity cost of $5 per hour, is there a better solution than for each to specialize in calculating or preparing slides?
Yes, Jane should pay James so that he does the whole work all by himself. Since James opportunity cost is $5 per hour, his total economic cost of doing the work is $100, and half of that is $50. Jane's economic cost of doing her part is $60 (= 12 x $5), so if she pays any amount lower than $60 and equal or higher than $50 to James, then they would both win.Explanation:
50 powerpoint slides
James needs 10 hours to do the calculations and 10 hours to prepare the slides = 20 hours total / 2 = 10 hours
Jane needs 12 hours to do the calculations and 20 hours to prepare the slides = 32 hours total / 2 = 16 hours
James's opportunity cost of doing the calculations or preparing the slides is 10 / 10 = 1
Jane's opportunity cost of doing one hour of calculations is 20 / 12 = 1.67 hours of preparing slides.
Jane's opportunity cost of doing one hour of preparing slides is 12 / 20 = 0.6 hours of calculations.

Make-or-Buy Decision Somerset Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $24 per unit. The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 40% of direct labor cost. The unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows: Direct materials $8.00 Direct labor 12.00 Factory overhead (40% of direct labor) 4.80 Total cost per unit $24.80 If Somerset Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 25% of the direct labor costs.
a. Prepare a differential analysis dated April 30 to determine whether the company should make (Alternative 1) or buy (Alternative 2) the carrying case. If an amount is zero, enter "0".
Answer:
Differential analysis as at April 30
Make (Alternative 1) Buy (Alternative 2)
Purchase Price $0.00 $24.00
Direct materials $8.00 $0.00
Direct labor $12.00 $0.00
Variable Costs - Case related $3.00 $0.00
Total Cost $23.00 $24.00
Conclusion
Company should make carrying cases instead of purchasing as this is cheaper by $1.00
Explanation:
There is a choice to be made between Make (Alternative 1) and Buy (Alternative 2). Compute the Total costs for these choices.
Ignore the fixed overheads as they are the same for both alternatives and hence irrelevant.
Choose the alternative with lower costs.
What is the purpose of a labor union?
This year, Druehl, Inc., will produce 57 comma 60057,600 hot water heaters at its plant in Delaware, in order to meet expected global demand. To accomplish this, each laborer at the plant will work 160160 hours per month. If the labor productivity at the plant is 0.250.25 hot water heaters per labor hour, how many laborers are employed at the plant
Answer:
The number of laborers employed by the plant is 120 laborers
Explanation:
According to given data Annual output = 57600 water heaters.
So the output per month = 57,600 / 12 months = 4,800 water heaters
Each labor works 160 hours per month
Suppose ,there are x number of laborers employed by the plant. So,x number of laborer will work 160x hours per month. So the labor input = 160x per month
Labor productivity = 0.25
Labor productivity = Output / Labor input
0.25 = 4800 / 160x
25/100 = 4800/160x
160x = (4800 X 100) / 25
160x = 19200
x = 19200/160
x = 120
Therefore, the number of laborers employed by the plant is 120 laborers
Mouret Corporation uses the following activity rates from its activity-based costing to assign overhead costs to products.
Activity Cost Pools Activity Rate
Setting up batches $92.68 per batch
Processing customer orders $95.08 per customer order
Assembling products $3.41 per assembly hour
Last year, Product N79A required 28 batches,
6 customer orders, and 712 assembly hours.
Required:
How much total overhead cost would be assigned to Product N79A using the company's activity-based costing system?
Answer:
$5,593.44
Explanation:
The computation of the total overhead cost assigned to Product N79A using the activity based costing is shown below:
Total overhead cost assigned is
= Setting up batches cost + processing customer orders cost + assembly products cost
As we know that
Overhead Cost assigned = Activity Rate × Number of activity
So,
Setting up batches cost = $92.68 × 28 batches = $2,595.04
Processing customer orders cost = $95.08 × 6 customer orders = $570.48
And,
Assembling products cost = $3.41 × 712 assembly hours = $2,427.92
So,
Total overhead cost assigned to Product N79A is
= $2,595.04 + $570.48 + $2,427.92
= $5,593.44
